We have brand new one-trip containers and high quality used containers for sale in the UK, ranging from 10ft up to 40ft.

Our second-hand containers are also plated with either an ISO or CSC certificate.
We also have used and cheap shipping containers that are perfect to store away from sight, to be used as garages or garden sheds. The containers will show the marks of their previous life as shipping containers, including surface rust, knocks and dent. These containers are great for clients who have an unfavorable budget or don't care if their container isn't perfect. We can repaint the chosen container to dramatically improve its appearance and increase its lifespan too.
They're ready to go
If you buy an used container, you'll be purchasing a used box that has spent years in the back of shipping lines and will have lots of surface rust and scratches and dents. However, it will also have been thoroughly examined for structural integrity by the supplier and will be equipped with a valid CSC plate. This plate signifies that the container is approved for shipping cargo overseas.
Additionally you'll save up to 90% off the cost of building your own structure and won't have to wait for months to be delivered. You can use your container in its current condition and the majority of projects don't require planning permission.

They're up to the task
Shipping containers are huge steel boxes that you can see on a construction sites. They are loaded onto lorries, trains, or onto ships for transport around the world. They're designed to be wind- and water-tight and protect cargo from the elements while they traverse rough seas and difficult conditions. They are also highly adaptable, flexible and versatile in their usage. They can be transformed into cabins, homes or offices at a fraction of the cost of building an equivalent from scratch.
If you're thinking of buying containers, you need to do some research to make sure you get the right model. Examine the condition of the windows and doors to make sure they are in good condition and are sealed properly. Additionally, examine the container body for any holes or major dents. Also, make sure all the working mechanisms are in good working order This includes hinges on the doors, gasket seals, locks roof and lower wall.
Container prices vary wildly across locations in the UK. With this in mind, it's wise to always examine offers from a variety of sellers and keep up-to-date on current market trends. This will allow you to get the most value for your money.
Most customers choose to buy a used container over mortar and bricks because it's less expensive. This is a good idea, as you will have a foundation that is ready to go and can be adapted within some weeks.
On construction sites, containers can be used as a temporary storage option for equipment and tools, a breakroom or an office on site. The space can be easily repurposed after the project is completed which is ideal for contractors working to tight deadlines.
A used container is a great solution for storing livestock and farm machinery. It's not just a secure dry, dry space to store your equipment, but it could also be transformed into a place for animals that need a little extra comfort.
They're a smart investment
In certain circumstances it might make sense to buy an used container rather than an entirely new one. You may not be concerned about the look of the container, or your budget may not allow for an entirely new one. Whatever the case, buying an old container can save you money and is a great option for many purposes and projects.
While there's no doubt that a brand new container will look better than one that has been used (especially since they're typically sold in one color and are without shipping corporate logos) However, a second-hand container is perfectly suited for most purposes and is guaranteed to last just the same as a brand-new one. The steel used in these containers is extremely strong and the durability of a good container can last for approximately twenty years. It is important to remember that purchasing an old container is economically and environmentally sustainable. The production of a single container requires large amounts of energy and raw materials, which is why reusing a container is such an environmentally responsible solution.
A storage container is a great option for businesses to protect important stock, documents and machinery. It's ideal for storage of items that aren't frequently used, and can be easily modified to meet your specific needs with the addition of shelving or doors. These buildings are also a more affordable alternative to brick and mortar structures, and offer a more flexible solution.
Containers are used in many locations around the globe. From warehouses and factories, to private homes and gardens sheds. Their intermodal design means they're perfect for transporting across continents and countries regardless of whether they're on the back of a truck in Asia or lifted onto a cargo ship to cross the ocean.
